I watched this out of curiosity because I thought it might show me a little of what I would have to learn for laser cutting. I really enjoyed your teaching style, you are clear, focused and obviously very competent. Thank you, I really enjoyed the window into programming a build.
Merry Christmas to everyone at Titan of CNC
I have worked in this industry for over 20 years
I think it's a good thing you're doing with TITANS of CNC Academy
Thanks and Merry Christmas to you also :-)
@@TITANSofCNC how you can compare MasterCam to Fusion 360 ?? I know MasterCam is very long on the market and have plenty of users but what is your opinion ??
This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. Especially since I can actually understand you.
can you please help me can you please send me your file of mastercam which you have tried the same program
Also I noticed when changing the lead in/lead out parameters. If you want the entry and exit the same you can use the arrow buttons in the middle to copy data from one side to the other. Speeds things up
You can condense a lot of the first 10 minutes. First off, go to Properties>Tool settings, and the top box on the right side is "Assign tools sequentially." That will auto-assign tools as 1, 2, 3, etc instead of doing it manually. EDIT: You can also choose tool SFM "from material", so all the tools pick up the designated SFM, instead of changing the speeds every time you load a tool.
For the stock, you can go to Properties>Stock setup. You can do the bounding box from there, enter 1x2x4.1, zero it off the top face, then enter the Z offset .02. Instead of fussing around with transparencies and levels, it just inserts a wireframe with red hidden lines. It also tells the software there's stock on top, so you can select "Facing" and go straight to OK, you don't have to select the top face because it knows you're taking material off.
True about the modeling the stock and face mill path. But if you want to use Optirough tool paths you will need to make a stock model the way Titan did.
I mean you don't need to bc Optirough will read the outer boundaries of the stock the way you mentioned. But when it's getting to more complex parts where you have to tell MasterCAM what was roughed in previous ops and you need to use Rest machining with a different tool then you have to use the Stock Model toolpath as shown
I'm a CNC machinist and programmer in the uk. I've used all the cam packages but find mastercam to be more complicated than it needs to be - creating and working with stock for example . Solidcam for me is the best, most logical to work through whilst providing efficient toolpaths. It's all about opinions tho and I enjoy watching other programmers .
Im kinda new at cnc programming using HSMWorks and its pretty easy.
Id like to hear your opinion about HSM in camparison to SolidCam
I don't do anything related to cnc.
Still I like to watch these video's because i'm interested in metals and metalwork in general :)
Also love the way he guides others to have the possibility for success in life. Good luck to you all in the new year. I also notice myself saying BOOM at random repairs... Customers looking sometimes like boom? Yes. Boom it's fixed. ;)
This guys is reigning , defending, undisputed cnc machining champion of the world
This deserves a subscription. Well done brotha!
Thank you, this is my first CAM lesson and I learned so much.
Another tip when using chamfer mills against walls. Rather than increasing the bottom offset parameter, switch to top offset and decrease the value. Let mastercam do as much thinking as possible so you dont need to do the maths.
i think the same way
i am experienced programmer but i learn new things.. thank you.
In addition to backplotting, there's the verification mode in Mastercam where material removal is also simulated along the toolpath based on the stock model and the tool dimensions. It's the icon located to the right of the backplot icon (Looks like a step with box and a green check mark.) It's a pretty nifty way to simulate material removal, and helped me discover where, on a few of my parts, I actually missed removing some material.
exactly you can check in many ways were the material is left on your part after machining
supper video bro this is helpful to me because i am taking a course in cnc machining at the age of 61 i have been maching for 20 years as manual machinist i decide to up grade my skill wish me luck
Thanks for doing what you're doing. Would love a second video of the part being cut.
Thank u for such a great opportunity to learn programming ,sir v need more people like u n this cruel world..
If anyone has a question or is confused you can ask me anything as well and will try to answer. I have used MasterCAM most of my time machining. Titan is a busy man so maybe I can help a bit! And I don't work for him or anything just want to offer my help.
Thanks Titan for your time teaching us
Do you upload content?
@@keenafyno7560 No I don't have a good setup. I've tried but quality sucks and I just haven't researched or got back to fixing it to be honest lol. But now that I moved recently to my new house I will try and get something setup
I did exactly what Titan did for the Optirough toolpath, but my result is so weird. it appears two levels. One is on the top and one is inside the part, but they are the same.
@@hieupham-mw7sz you must have set something wrong
After making a bounding box and creating a stock model I cant get rid of the transparent stock model even after moving it to a different layer. maybe its the bounding box not sure. Also when he selects multiple edge chains by holding shift i can only select one
THANK YOU TITAN'S OF CNC for spreading knowledge and helping the youth, or anyone who wants to earn a honest living in a respectable trade; that I appreciate very much. (And I speak for many people as I write this comment.) LOVE THE MASTERCAM VIDEOS BTW. Titan is THE MAN!
we all do :)
that 's amazing what you 'r doing for many poeple , thanks you so much happy new year for every single person collaborating withy you and fore those following you, i really thinking about moving from quebec to texas
Merry Christmas Titan and crew. Thank you for posting interesting videos in 2019, and looking forward to more in 2020.
Take care my friends
Master cam is the best. thanks for introducing it, looks forward 2020. Boom
oh. it went boom alright. mastercam's gonna come in handy
agree with you :)
Thank you for this video. I am heading into a Mastercam class next semester and a new series on it with be a great benefit. Merry Christmas
Best Mastercam instructor.
@titansofcnc the rapping skills were the best!
Really love and appreciate all you guys are doing! Thank You
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family and friends Tony from Canada 🇨🇦
Hello brothers.... I need help... After facing operation when he did the cutting of inner side (slot)?? By using opti rough??? But in opti rough there was only toolpath on floor..... Where is the z step in opti rough?? Or he made the whole slot with only one cut?? 24:50
Hey Titan, first of all kudos for the series and the efforts you put in to make this great tutorial. So I started working on these building blocks today. Since I have only been following your CAD and CAM tutorial I don't understand how the number of entities in wireframe level changed from 29 in the CAD video to 39 in this video. It has actually got me confused whether I am doing it wrong or what cause while saving the CAD model it showed an error of rebuilding the models. Need help. Thank You
I was wondering if I could use every procedure showed here but in woodworking? I mean, apply the same methods on wood? Thanks for the great lessons!
OMG can’t wait to see it, one hour 😍
Thank you,
Very useful video
Iam junior machinist I dont know much.but where i working I saw drill > chamfer > tap but if material is hard we use cdr and then same .can we use chamfer directly before drill
Great video, thumbs up. One thing everyone leaves off in Mastercam videos includine here is how do I program the flipping of the part to finish OP2? The part is not finished. I am trying to figure out how to program in Mastercam the when I flip the part over and want to machine off the same model we used in OP1.
you create a plane on the bottom and use it as WCS
interesting, but for viewers new to cnc design, would be nice to link the other video, which I switched to to find out how to "draw" this part, but in that video too, please go SLOW, I have Autism, and have trouble following your cursor moves, so slow it down, and maybe do a 150% zoom on the screen so we can see up close where the icons are and what they look like, as some of us also have vision issues (older viewers to :-) ).
Thanks for so much Titan. In 2020 we go for more BOOM!
Hi, what software is better for cnc machining ? Solidworks or mastercam?
Do I have to have a cnc mill to do the online academy? I’ve been studying hard but without hands on I might not catch on
Very well explained video, awesome teaching skills
Videos about 3 and 4 axis please!! Specially of turning!
Great man! I liked it a lot. Alles klar! From CDMX!
Titan CNC its really amazing explanation 💯
Damn dude you are great, thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us, I have the dream to become a great machinist and programmer!!!
BIT CONFUSE G54 Y DATUM MUST BE ON BACK DEAD JAW - MOVE IN Y-.05 (INSTED OF -0.025) ? AM I RIGHT
At 6:27, after he moves the model down and names the level, I notice that he already has another level with a wireframe. Is that from a previous video?
Do you know any school teaching cnc programer? I would like to learn but don’t know where. thanks
When you did the rough milling toolpath it was dirty and needed regeneration bit you just jump cut past it and I'm stuck trying to figure out what's wrong with it.
Hi We are a group of Vietnam vets which are trying to understand Mastercam but we cannot seem to get past the first step. Things in your videos are great but it is the very basic which is letting us down EG commands, as we cannot see which on the ribbon bar you click on so do you have any PDF instructions step by step on say the Titan -1M project so we can at least complete one excise. We are all in our late 70s so we are not that quick of the mark.
Thank you for this super detailed tutorial. BOOOM!!!
id like more videos about surfaces program and program about four and five axis would be great thanks
Good to know how my models get used
Excellent resource for learning Mastercam!
Would've loved to see this translate to the actual machining process as a follow up video!
I am using fusion, not sure about this MC stuff... hey can you tell us how many more tools kennametal has sold since you started this...I for one have inproved my parts with Kennametal bits....
Extremely helpful, thank you for all the help!
thanks for the video , i really appreciate it , i got a question .. i m doing it but i got stuck : when you make stock model and create as toolpath then isn't possible to turn on(off the second level with the stock in the levels area , and you mentioned this as normal minute 7 at the video , but after for making the optirough toolpath , you make turn off the stock , me i can't do that ... if someone can help me i would really thank you guys
I am retired already 9 years. The last version of M/C I used was version 9. Watching this video(because of curiosity)I wonder if the table with levels and the description could be also expanded over the entire screen as it was in ver.9??? (so you can enter really long text string-used to be up to 125 characters I believe). Or are you limited with only that short of a text space as you are showing at 6:10/8:02? And then switch back and forth with actual work screen with Alt-Esc or some other sequence!
Version 9 is the bomb hahaha
@@mattcyr3342 what do you mean? It was the most sophisticated Cad/cam of the time (late 1990's and beginning of 2000's)....no errors in postprocessing..just perfect tool path.
@@jiritichy6855 Thats what im saying lol its awesome for just making stuff.
But I still did not get the answer from Titan or anyone else....
Is there an updated file for the tooling? I tried downloading from the website but the file was an older version of mastercam and I was not able to use them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for the help in everything else.
Thank you. God blessings.
Just use 2D High speed dynamic for the pockets. Use a basic contour for a finish pass. Optirough is for roughing and stair stepping sloped surfaces.
It’s hits all 3 roughing needs at once and the point is to teach it early so students are used to it.
@@TITANSofCNC This is true as us MasterCAM users that used V9 are used to Colton's method. I force myself to use the optirough even on basic toolpaths to get used to it. It's much more intelligent and when you get a part that's 100s of pockets you rather not select all of those and input different heights if all the pockets are different heights
Спасибо! Очень интересно
Mastercam 2017,18,19 & 20 versions got some really serious upgrades. Now Mastercam looks like a complete Cad-Cam integrated package with lot better user friendliness! Finally good bye to stupid old X series versions..!
Yup. Love these MasterCaM versions
Its CAD is still super weak. Its best to still have a CAD package like Solidworks if possible. CAM tho? Mastercam all the way.
Of course! It's basically designed for CAM in first place!
next version will have some nice solid creation features
@@sun71717 thats true
Hey Titan,
If possible, can you please upload video about cylindrical mapping in 4- axis machine
Thanks
4th axis rotary, rotary advanced or axis substitute
@@aspeaerospaceprecisionenging Axis Substitution using Mastercam
does anyone know how i can get the generic haas 3x mill machine definition file for mastercam? my mastercam educational did not come with it.
Thank you
I love it
The tool library I downloaded is not working for the 2025 mastercam
Hello, if you have Chinese subtitles or Chinese version, what version of MasterCAM do I use now? thank you!
Please include mastercam probing tutorial for titan 1m with autocompensation probing also include inspection by probing through mastercam
Every time I try turning off the stock level so that I can select only the body of the model it doesn’t turn off. It kind of turns it into one. Anyone know how to fix that? I think it has to do with when I turn it into the stock model but I literally follow everything she does!!
I use Mastercam 2018 and I can't load the tool library b/c it's a 2020/2021 version. How can i load that tool library to my mastercam so i can continue the tutorial? Thanks, great video.
you can create tools that you need yourself right click on the window where you select tools for your op (inside toolpath settings) and then select create new tool
It shouldn't be that hard. It should be like 3d printing, you put in a STL file and it makes your part! Are these programs really that far behind 3d printing programs, or is it really that much harder to subtract than add?
Didn't see you set the feed and speed for the threads on the tap?
Thank you Titan!
what is the closest equivalent of optirough in x8?
great teaching like it
awsome work, we need metric, includeing the tools ...
i use mastercam x5 and mastercam 2018 No have Art Tool bar why ?
can we get the cad file to follow tutorial
????
Thank you so much for your sharing. Good karma
Question about that plunge rate. I know when facing off material it wont matter but I like to edit tools as little as possible so I always put plunge rate around 75% of feed rate so when I enter a cut inside material I dont over load a cutter. Do you always use higher plunge rates?
When plunging into air you use the higher feed rate than the cutting feed rate.
But it all depends on cutter and method. If you're doing a helix or ramp toolpath your feedrate depends on angle and cutter style.
Like Titan said, I don't reccommend plunging straight into material, and I ever need to I drop my plunge feed rate really low to like 5ipm in aluminum. Definitely don't plunge straight into material in steels, that will beat up or kill your cutter quickly, if not break it the first time.
Helix is my preferred method and sometimes ramping as well.
Hope this helpsn
@@VictorHernandez-nt3tw okay I just wanted to check I wasnt doing something wrong. I also ramp in. Very few of my features can be accessed from outside the material so I'm used to ramping in but alot of what I do is just because it's what has always been done and works, I.e. no actuall reason other than we just do. So I've learned to use lower plunge rates than cutting, that way if you get it wrong you're not over doing it, in theory that is. 99% of our work are 1 offs so we're not hunting for seconds savings more make sure we dont break things and get the job done.
In a production scenario how many of these parts could be made in a 8hours shift? Rough estimate
@ a 1/2 hr cycle about 16
I wish I had a cnc to play with
Thank for the video help
What advice do you have for the cut parameters section (22:31) in mastercam 2022 I don’t see the transition section, only steep/shallow. I get an error because of that missing step.
Hey, go to "Parameters -> Linking Parameters -> Entry Motion"
@@lucasolander568 thank you for the info. I am going to screenshot this and re do this.
Surprised you didn’t go over how to calculate dwell time. Then again I understand you didn’t wanna get to complicated
I've a question. Whenever I click to stock model and create a stock model I can not hide it. I click levels, then hide the stock part but it just becomes ghosty it just doesn't disappear. Please help me :(
The stock model is treated as a toolpath which are not hidable through levels. What you need to do is turn on "Only Display Selected Toolpaths". This will remove the stock model from the view and will only display the toolpath for the operation you have selected on the toolpaths pane.
hey titan, i have a basic vf-3 haas machine so no high speed. i have used mastercam opti toolpath but the program seems to take a lot longer. i bump up the feed rate as high as it can go but without that look ahead it still pretty slow moving. i have to revert back to traditional toolpath , was wonder if you knew a work around this problem?
Play with Arc filter and you will get much faster machining with the same speeds and feeds you used before.
Also I suggest you to use G187 if your machine supports it. Find video Tip if the day from Haas where they talk about this parameter
Oleg Vodovozov thanks for the tip!
In arc filter put the tolerance around .01” and click the g17 arc box. Use g187 P1.
trace12345678900 I will have to give this a shot!
I don’t have generic haas machine files, anyone knows how can I get it?
Any chance there's a tool list for Mastercam 2019? I don't have HLE available for 2020 and can't load the tools. I guess I can make do with the stock tools though*
you can create tools that you need yourself right click on the window where you select tools for your op (inside toolpath settings) and then select create new tool
@@aspeaerospaceprecisionenging bro titan didnt create level 2 but it is showing in levels as wireframe
Very good teaching overlap missing
Why is mastercam better than solidworks?
16 tools fir that part?
What’s different between Mastercam and 360 !
about $15000 dollars
Fusion360 is great but it’s not ITAR compliant.
Both have free education downloads.
Mastercam basic starts at about $5k and then goes up depending on if your in Layhe or Mill etc.
Fusion is subscription.
Mastercam gives a massive amount of freedom to design your own toolpaths when programming high level parts etc.
Master cam also takes 1 hour to program this part. Fusion 360? About 6 minutes. 🤷🏻♂️
devon dupuis
Mastercam takes about 6 minutes to program this part when you know it
Oleg Vodovozov looks like we need a “Cam challenge” then? I’ve used master cam for 8 years. I’m aware of the differences.
I click this guy! 👍
HOWWW DID YOU MAKE YOUR STOCK MODEL TRANSLUCENT?
The stock model is treated as a toolpath which are not hidable through levels. What you need to do is turn on "Only Display Selected Toolpaths". This will remove the stock model from the view and will only display the toolpath for the operation you have selected on the toolpaths pane.
@@SA-ne1re Thank you Ive since figured this out along with all sorts of other stuff thanks to people like you.
A lot different than powermill 2021
I chose mastercam because Titan use it
My dear is working at Titan
This software has some serious archaic design and user interaction philosophies. Shame its the industry standard...
Its not the industry standard! NX and hypermill are the industry standard that everyone copies.
Yur my idol
At school they force us to write g code into the simulator by hand on the spot by using technical drawing printouts, really makes me question what the hell im doing with my life.
It will be good for you in the long run. I had to do the same in school, and it sucked, but it helps you to really understand the code.
until you will finish ...all task will be end of the world...too complicated....
Titan is the meanest looking nerd ive ever seen lol
